The cadastre as a tool for land management : economic reform?
Kurwakumire, Edward
A nationns natural resources with land at the apex form the basis of economic growth in most developing nations since the bulk of a nations raw materials required for industry be it agro, chemical or automotive are extracted form these natural resources. This renders the proper management of the resource of land crucial in any state or country as it is also the basis of sustainable development. Such proper land management policies however remain a challenge to most governments in African nations. This is further worsened by the need to readdress pre-colonial land occupation imbalances in which the land reform fails to adopt proper procedures and standards, which sympathise with economic growth procedures. The objective of this paper is to justify the need for a digital cadastre as a solution to land management problems as well as its role as a tool for economic growth.
